Too Marvelous for Words is a compilation album by The Lennon Sisters, with songs selected for re-release from their Decca catalog. It was issued by Vocalion Records in 1969, the year the four sisters were struck by tragedy: on August 12 their father and long-time manager, William Lennon, was shot and killed by a delusional stalker who believed he was married to Peggy, the second-oldest of the sisters.

The title and the vocal group’s name are shown in two interlocking text blocks, with one word per line: the former is set in all-lowercase Filmotype Tempo and printed in turquoise, the latter features purple caps from Helvetica Bold. The list of song names uses either Alternate Gothic or the largely identical Trade Gothic Bold Condensed.
